Having thus started the push into their upcoming fourth long-player, Sleeping Through the War, which is out Feb. 24 via New West Records, Nashville’s All Them Witches are wasting no time in building momentum leading up to the release. Less than a week ago, they made the date public and unveiled the track “Bruce Lee” at the same time, and now they have a video for the song, a wide variety of preorder packages available through Bandcamp and PledgeMusic — I’ve got my eye on a signed CD and signed tape, personally — and new North American tour dates for soon after the record hits, starting with a hometown release show that’s bound to be a good time. I wouldn’t mind seeing these guys on their own turf. Or, you know, just about anywhere. Duna Jam would work too, if the planets happened to align that way.

Anyhoozle, the video is directed by Jason Staebler — who if I’m not mistaken is brother to drummer Robby Staebler, who also handles a lot of the four-piece’s graphic design work — and offers all kinds of puppeteering weirdness in its three-minute span. There’s a narrative to it, a chase, a kind of sense of cloying into which one can read any number of interpretations, and it’s entirely likely that’s the whole idea. If you didn’t get the chance to check out the track when it was posted here last week, it’s a good opportunity to dig into its headphone-worthy depths and also have your dreams potentially haunted in the process. We learned last time out on All Them Witches‘ 2015 album, Dying Surfer Meets His Maker (review here) — which I’ll admit I’ve been revisiting — that the lead single, which was “Dirt Preachers” (video here), doesn’t necessarily represent the whole of the record surrounding, but across three to-date full-lengths and numerous other jams, singles and short digital releases, All Them Witches have yet to disappoint, and accordingly, Sleeping Through the War is among my most anticipated albums for 2017.

Enjoy “Bruce Lee” below, followed by the aforementioned tour dates and preorder links:

Sleeping Through The War is coming in 2017

LISTeN UP!!! It’s been the most insane year of our lives. Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts for the support. We are stoked to announce our new album Sleeping Through The War is coming February 24, 2017. Our first single “Bruce Lee” is premiering right now.

Anyone reading this comment, go check this band out if you can. You won’t be disappointed. Saw them last year and will be checking them out again in Montreal on their next tour in 2017. Looking forward to hearing some new stuff live…
